Are any Xerjoff frags worth the price?

I know this is a highly subjective subject, but what do you all think of Xerjoff fragrances related to price? I've been looking at several, but even the cheaper ones are $265 for $50 mL, which seems steep to me.

I've never smelled any of them, so should I bother? 1861 has interested me in the past, as well as Kobe/Nio/Uden.

Re: Are any Xerjoff frags worth the price?

There are some fragrances i would never buy, regardless of how good they are, due to their price. As a result, i don't see the point in buying samples of them. Xerjoff is one of those. But it depends on your wallet.

Re: Are any Xerjoff frags worth the price?

No not really worth the price in my opinion. I like some of their fragrances and own a couple. Their high prices tell me they are still in the "artisanal - baby steps - experimentation phase" of their fragrance enterprise. At some point they will realize that its time to get out on the street and get serious.

They make some very nice scents. They last forever, and are very high quality, plus the bottles are gorgeous. Some of my favs of the ones I've sampled are Kobe, Uden, Mefisto, and Malmuk, but I also cannot justify the price. I did come very close on a bottle of Kobe once, but decided against it last minute.

Only tried two - Zhafar and Gao. Would certainly be tempted by one of these once my decants run out. As Kron implies though, maybe further decants are in order; hell my current decants will probably last me anyway.......

In conclusion, they are 'worth' the price IMO as they are incredible fragrances. I would not complain however, if they halved their prices.

At first when I tried some of the shooting stars, I sort of laughed them off, as they didn't smell "niche" enough, and I thought they were just sort of a cash grab (which they probably are). But like others have said, they are made of high quality stuff, and they do project and last FOREVER. I got a tiny bit from my neck on my shirt collar, and that stuff survived the washing machine, and I could still smell it after it had been washed.

Uden is nice, and the more I've worn the sample I have, the more I've been considering the possibility of maybe going in for a FB someday.

If it's worth the money or not, as echoed before, is quite subjective.

Re: Are any Xerjoff frags worth the price?

The ouds are certainly worth trying if only because they are interesting well balanced compositions. If you find
something that really suits you then the money issue is one you have to determine. I was always very impressed with GAO,
but it's strong stuff, not for the faint-hearted. Sometimes these day I get a Comet cleanser note from GAO. Once an impression
like that gets in your head it's hard to shake.
